The Nature Education Foundation is pleased to announce the debut of Plateau Palooza, a reimagined summer series that blends art, music, food, and community in one of Southern California's most breathtaking natural settings—the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in Murrieta.

The five-week series begins on Friday, June 27, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. with Lemonade & Canvas, an immersive opening-night experience designed to inspire guests to sip, savor, and create. Set beneath the summer sky and surrounded by the beauty of the Plateau, the evening features a gourmet picnic dinner, specialty wines, mocktails and lemon-inspired beverages, live entertainment by acclaimed saxophonist Jason Weber, and an outdoor art showcase celebrating the creativity of local artists.

A highlight of this year's art show is the introduction of "scholastic artists"—talented high school students from local schools who will exhibit alongside established regional artists. It marks the first time in the art show's 26-year history that student artists have been featured, creating a unique opportunity to celebrate both emerging and accomplished artistic talent.

Following Lemonade & Canvas, Plateau Palooza continues with four intimate Saturday evening concerts that showcase a variety of musical styles. Beginning July 11, guests can enjoy Southern rock, country, 1980s favorites, and the iconic sounds of 1969 performed by popular local bands including James Kelly Band, Cheeze Whiz, The 1969 Band and the local country favorite Pushin' Daisies. Each concert evening will feature curated food offerings, specialty beverages, access to the outdoor art show, and the warm community atmosphere that has made the Plateau's summer events a cherished local tradition for ove a decade.

More than just a summer entertainment series, Plateau Palooza serves a greater purpose. Proceeds benefit The Nature Education Foundation's youth environmental education programs, helping connect thousands of local students each year to hands-on experiences in nature and fostering the next generation of environmental stewards. www.the-nef.org

Whether you're an art enthusiast, music lover, foodie, or simply looking for a memorable summer evening under the stars, Plateau Palooza offers a unique opportunity to celebrate community while supporting nature education.

VIP, Season and General Admission tickets available. Tickets begin at $45/person.
